The night was hot and suffocating. A storm was coming.
Lucien purposely chose a different way, approaching the abandoned house from beside the tall willow, which took him more than ten minutes. Standing in the shadow, he did not approach the building immediately. Instead, he stayed there for a while and noticed there were three people dressed in black robes standing in front of the abandoned house.
From their figures, Lucien could tell one was Smile and another one was Philosopher. However, Lucien could not recognize the third person. Thus, he did not lower his guard. Grabbing a black, weird-shaped magic reagent in his hand, he silently cast a spell.
The thing in his hand started trembling faster and faster, and ultrasonic waves began to expand outwards in all directions.
That was Bat Screaming, the first spell created by Lucien on his own.
